I must share that this wonderful art festival was one of the most joyous events Modesto and I have been able to be a part of. The love for the arts and the sheer energy of this festival was truly one of a kind. The tremendous spirit shown by the people in Houston, after being through so much is something I will never forget! I really can't think of a thank you large enough to encompass how grateful we are for the amount of art that is now in its new homes and for the experiences we got to have at this festival!

Sarah Janece Garcia is honored and proud to present her work to the Choose Courage Foundation to be a part of the "Courage" fine art exhibition.

Sarah's watercolor and pastel painting titled, "Soar with Courage" will be available for viewing and purchase at the art exhibit on Thursday, October 5th in Fort Worth, TX. The proceeds from "COURAGE" will be shared with Safe Haven of Tarrant County.

From Sarah:

My painting titled, “Soar with Courage” was created for this great foundation and was inspired by the concept that the Choose Courage Foundation holds dear which is, "FROM THE HARD, BEAUTY CAN EMERGE. Survivors of domestic violence have a strength and beauty that inspires hope. They are proof of a life reclaimed and free of violence.” The original painting was donated to help in the wonderful efforts they have done and are doing to break the shame, stigma and silence of domestic violence by celebrating the strength and courage of survivors.

What a fantastic night the POP UP ART EXHIBIT was!! The room was full of excitement, positivity, and an unmatched energy! To see and meet so many with such a love of the arts was incredible and to know that a pop up art show run by artists could bring together such a group of amazing folks, well it makes my heart flutter with glee! Thank you to all who attended, all who purchased artwork, and all who helped make this art exhibit such a fantastic experience.

"My artwork is directly inspired by the amazing wildlife that live among us here on this beautiful Earth and knowing that it will be helping, in its own little way, to conserve animals is truly something that brings me so much joy." -Sarah Janece Garcia

Sarah Janece Garcia's prints of "The Dreamer" & "The Wind is Calling" have traveled and now arrived in South Africa. Sarah's artwork, along with the work of Anne London, will be a part of an incredible event held in Johannesburg, South Africa.

On July 13th, 2017 a Christmas In July fundraiser and art auction will take place at Tintswalo Lodge at Waterfall. The proceeds will benefit the South African Wildlife College and Anti Rhino Poaching campaigns.

From Sarah: At a recent art festival we met a fantastic artist named Anne London and her husband Jim Hart, both of which are doing great things in the way of aiding animal conservation through the non profit they developed called “Arts for Animals”. Anne and I instantly connected over being two animal artists with a love for wildlife and a passion for animal conservation. We have since quickly developed a friendship and Modesto and I are proud to share that we have already begun working with her and her husband to aid in the conservation and charity efforts we all believe so strongly in. After a great trip to New Orleans plans to join forces began and now many exciting ventures for protecting and helping animals are ahead that I look forward to sharing with you all very soon!

Anne and Jim's charity organization is doing incredible work in the states and in Africa and I encourage all to visit the Arts For Animals site:

Sarah Janece Garcia's brand new collection is titled, “The Endangered Species Collection” and it is meant to capture the beautiful and majestic faces of endangered and threatened species from around the world. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of any original in the "Endangered Species Collection" will go to a preselected charity to aid in the work being done to conserve the animal that is in the painting.

"I feel that these amazing animals rely on us as humans to use our voice, abilities, and power to speak up for them, protect them, and honor the importance of their existence on this Earth. In this collection I hope to express the deep connective thread between humans and animals while also combining art with conservation to celebrate these fascinating animals that inspire and amaze." -Sarah Janece Garcia

There are no words grand enough to perfectly describe this magical evening but I will try. The "Future Interrupted" art exhibit at Beaudry Gallery had a fantastic opening night. I was so excited to debut my large scale watercolor original titled, "Warrior Among Us"! So many wonderful friends, collectors, and folks we got to meet that night came through the gallery doors! The response and reactions to this piece and my other work was so incredibly positive! I am unbelievable grateful to the gallery, the fellow artists who's work was showcased, and all the amazing people who came out to the artist reception! So, here is my eagle and what an exciting and joyous journey creating this painting was!
